ATP Finals: home hero Jannik Sinner keen to show his best at ‘special’ season-ending event

World No 1 Jannik Sinner says the ATP Finals will be more special for him this time around as it gives him the chance to play on home soil in Italy, months after missing this year’s Italian Open in Rome because of a hip injury. The ATP Finals, which feature the world’s best eight singles players and doubles teams, are being staged at the Inalpi Arena in Turin from November 10 to 17. “Many things make [this tournament] special,” Sinner said on Thursday.

“First of all, being an Italian and playing in Italy. I haven’t played in Italy this year, because I missed Rome. That was a really tough one, but I am even more excited and happy to be here.



“The atmosphere is just amazing ...

I’m just happy to be back here and hopefully I can show some good tennis.” Sinner arrives in Turin at the end of a sensational season in which he was victorious at the Australian and US Opens – his first grand slam triumphs – and won five more ATP titles..
